liè wù fǎn ér biàn chéng le liè shā zhě ， shū shēng dào zài le xuè pō zhōng 。
猎物反而变成了猎杀者，书生倒在了血泊中。
The prey had become the hunter, and the scholar lay in a pool of blood.
lín xuān miàn wú biǎo qíng de yī zhāo shǒu ， bái guāng shǎn guò ， duì fāng de chǔ wù dài zì dòng fēi le guò lái ， lín xuān shàng wèi dǎ kāi ， jiù tīng jiàn yuǎn chù yòu chuán lái yī shēng cǎn jiào ， shào nián de zuǐ jiǎo biān bù yóu lù chū yī sī jī cháo ， shēn xíng yī huǎng ， xùn sù xiāo shī zài le mì lín zhōng 。
林轩面无表情的一招手，白光闪过，对方的储物袋自动飞了过来，林轩尚未打开，就听见远处又传来一声惨叫，少年的嘴角边不由露出一丝讥嘲，身形一晃，迅速消失在了密林中。
Lin Xuan, expressionless, waved his hand. A white light flashed, and the opponent's storage bag flew over on its own. Before Lin Xuan could open it, another cry of agony echoed from afar. A sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth as he vanished swiftly into the dense forest.
cǐ shí xiū shì men de huǒ bìng yě dá dào le **。
此时修士们的火并也达到了**。
The conflict among cultivators had reached a peak.
sú huà shuō rén xīn gé dù pí ， tài bái jiàn xiān suī rán shuō dé hǎo tīng ， kě qí tā xiū shì yě bú shì méi yǒu tóu nǎo ， jiù suàn yī shí cāi bù tòu tā de yòng yì ， kě yě gè zì huái zhe zì jǐ de xīn sī 。
俗话说人心隔肚皮，太白剑仙虽然说得好听，可其他修士也不是没有头脑，就算一时猜不透他的用意，可也各自怀着自己的心思。
As they say, one can never truly know what’s in someone's heart. Although the White Sword Immortal spoke well, other cultivators weren't without their wits. Even if they couldn’t fathom his intentions at first, each harbored their own thoughts.
tè bié shì jiàn sān jù tóu jiè rù yǐ hòu ， zhòng rén gèng zhī dào huò dé tiān chén dān de jī huì yǐ shí fēn piāo miǎo ， jì rú cǐ ， hái bù rú hún shuǐ mō yú ， duō lāo yī xiē hǎo chù 。
特别是见三巨头介入以后，众人更知道获得天尘丹的机会已十分飘渺，既如此，还不如浑水摸鱼，多捞一些好处。
Especially after the three major sects intervened, everyone realized that obtaining the Heavenly Dust Pill was a distant dream. Thus, it made more sense to take advantage of the chaos and gain as many benefits as possible.
bǐ rú shuō shā rén qiǎng bǎo ， shèn zhì jié cái jié sè ， píng shí de xiū zhēn jiè suī yě ruò ròu qiáng shí ， dàn duō shǎo hái yǒu yī xiē gù jì ， ér xiàn zài zhè zhǒng hùn luàn de xíng shì ， zhèng shì sì wú jì dàn zuò huài shì de hǎo shí jī ， fǎn zhèng shì hòu yě méi yǒu bàn fǎ zhuī chá qǐ 。
比如说杀人抢宝，甚至劫财劫色，平时的修真界虽也弱肉强食，但多少还有一些顾忌，而现在这种混乱的形势，正是肆无忌惮做坏事的好时机，反正事后也没有办法追查起。
For example, killing for treasure or robbing for profit. While the cultivation world did have its own rules, there were still some restraints. But in this chaotic situation, it was an ideal time to do whatever one wished without fear of repercussions.
cún zhè zhǒng xiǎng fǎ de xiū shì bú shì yí gè liǎng gè 。
存这种想法的修士不是一个两个。
Many cultivators shared such thoughts.
rán ér ， qí zhōng bó dòu zuì hěn de ， hái shì mó dào sān pài yǔ zhèng dào sān jù tóu ， shuāng fāng bǐ cǐ cái shì zuì dà de jìng zhēng duì shǒu ， cǐ kè zì rán shì bù sǐ bù xiū 。
然而，其中搏斗最狠的，还是魔道三派与正道三巨头，双方彼此才是最大的竞争对手，此刻自然是不死不休。
However, the most vicious fighting was between the three major sects and the three powerful factions. They were each other's biggest rivals, so they fought with no mercy.
zhěng gè kuí yīn shān mài de nán lù ， bèi xuè sè tián mǎn le ， dào chù dōu shàng yǎn zhe cán kù de shā lù 。
整个奎阴山脉的南麓，被血色填满了，到处都上演着残酷的杀戮。
The southern slopes of Quinyun Mountain were filled with blood as brutal killings unfolded everywhere.
“ nǐ men shì zì cái ， hái shì ràng lǎo zǔ wǒ dòng shǒu ？”
“你们是自裁，还是让老祖我动手？”
"Will you commit suicide or let me do it for you?" The young boy spoke without emotion, but the three Foundation Establishment cultivators seemed like prey caught by a venomous snake, frozen in place.
háo wú gǎn qíng de huà yǔ ， què chū zì yǎn qián nián yòu de tóng zi ， kě sān gè zhù jī qī xiū zhēn zhě ， què fǎng fú bèi dú shé dīng zhù de liè wù ， yī dòng yě bù gǎn dòng 。
毫无感情的话语，却出自眼前年幼的童子，可三个筑基期修真者，却仿佛被毒蛇盯住的猎物，一动也不敢动。
Venomous Child!
bǎi dú tóng zi ！
百毒童子！
Known for his cruelty and viciousness within the魔道, he was a Condensation Core cultivator.
zài mó dào zhōng yě yǐ cán rěn è dú wén míng yú shì ， duì fāng shì níng dān chéng gōng de xiū mó zhě 。
在魔道中也以残忍恶毒闻名于世，对方是凝丹成功的修魔者。
"Split up and run. One is better than none!"
“ fēn kāi zǒu ， táo dé yí gè shì yí gè ！”
“分开走，逃得一个是一个！”
The leading elder instructed his fellow disciples as he knew there was no chance of winning a direct confrontation. The other two nodded and transformed into streaks of light, flying in different directions.
wéi shǒu de lǎo zhě xiàng liǎng gè tóng mén fēn fù ， tā yě zhī dào yìng pīn yì diǎn jī huì yě méi yǒu ， qí tā liǎng rén diǎn le diǎn tóu ， huà wèi dùn guāng ， fēi wǎng bù tóng de fāng xiàng 。
为首的老者像两个同门吩咐，他也知道硬拼一点机会也没有，其他两人点了点头，化为遁光，飞往不同的方向。
"Want to leave?" The Venomous Child's face twisted into a cruel smile: "You dare not accept my offering? Then you'll pay the price!"
“ xiǎng zǒu ？” bǎi dú tóng zi de liǎn shàng lù chū cán rěn de xiào róng ：“ jìng jiǔ bù chī chī fá jiǔ ！”
“想走？”百毒童子的脸上露出残忍的笑容：“敬酒不吃吃罚酒！”
He waved his chubby little hand, and three greenish smoke clouds chased after the cultivators at an incredible speed.
shēn chū bái bái pàng pàng de xiǎo shǒu ， qīng qīng yī huī ， sān dào mò lǜ sè de yān wù yǐ bù kě sī yì de sù dù zhuī xiàng le xiū zhēn zhě 。
伸出白白胖胖的小手，轻轻一挥，三道墨绿色的烟雾以不可思议的速度追像了修真者。
The trio were instantly enveloped by the smoke. It turned out to be three inch-long centipedes. The leading elder was very alert and opened his protective shield first.
sān rén jī hū tóng shí bèi nà yān wù chán shēn 。 què shì sān tiáo chǐ xǔ zhǎng dì wú gōng ， nà wéi shǒu de lǎo zhě shí fēn jī jǐng ， qiǎng xiān yī bù jiāng hù zhào dǎ kāi 。
三人几乎同时被那烟雾缠身。却是三条尺许长地蜈蚣，那为首的老者十分机警，抢先一步将护罩打开。
But it was useless; the centipede ignored the shield, biting through a hole before crawling inside.
rán ér méi yǒu yòng ， nà wú gōng jū rán shì ruò wú wù de jiāng hù zhào yǎo le gè dòng ， rán hòu yī tóu zuān le jìn lái 。
然而没有用，那蜈蚣居然视若无物的将护罩咬了个洞，然后一头钻了进来。
Another cultivator summoned a spiritual artifact, but a loud crack echoed as if hitting metal or stone. The centipede wasn’t harmed, instead becoming enraged and screeching.
hái yǒu yī rén jì chū líng qì ， pēng de yī shēng rú zhōng jīn shí ， wú gōng méi shì ， fǎn ér bèi rě nǎo ， zhī zhī guài jiào 。
还有一人祭出灵器，嘭的一声如中金石，蜈蚣没事，反而被惹恼，吱吱怪叫。
"Only a low-grade spiritual artifact? You dare to harm my demonic insects?"
“ qū qū líng qì ér yǐ 。 yě xiǎng shāng hài wǒ de mó chóng ？”
“区区灵器而已。也想伤害我的魔虫？”
The Venomous Child cast a spell, transforming the centipede into green light that entered through their mouths.
bǎi dú tóng zi qiā jué yì diǎn ， nà wú gōng huà wèi le yī dào lǜ guāng ， cóng sān rén de zuǐ lǐ zuān le jìn qù 。
百毒童子掐诀一点，那蜈蚣化为了一道绿光，从三人的嘴里钻了进去。
Their faces changed dramatically as they were tormented by the Venomous Child's centipedes. The experience was akin to soul extraction and essence refinement.
liǎn sè dà biàn 。 rán hòu sān rén jiù biàn dé tòng kǔ bù kān ， bèi bǎi dú tóng zi de wú gōng zhé mó ， zī wèi yǔ chōu hún liàn suǐ yě chà bu duō 。
脸色大变。然后三人就变得痛苦不堪，被百毒童子的蜈蚣折磨，滋味与抽魂炼髓也差不多。
After half an hour, they turned into pools of blood. Satisfied, the Venomous Child nodded before moving on to his next target. It felt good to slaughter these cultivators.
bàn gè shí chén hòu 。 sān rén huà wèi le yī tān xuè shuǐ ， bǎi dú tóng zi xīn mǎn yì zú de diǎn diǎn tóu ， rán hòu yòu qù xún zhǎo xià yí gè mù biāo 。 nüè shā zhè xiē xiū zhēn zhě de gǎn jué zhēn hǎo 。
半个时辰后。三人化为了一滩血水，百毒童子心满意足的点点头，然后又去寻找下一个目标。虐杀这些修真者的感觉真好。
While several old demons were busy massacring the Foundation Establishment disciples, the Condensation Core experts from the 正道 didn't have time to rest either.
dāng jǐ gè lǎo mó duì sān jù tóu dì zhù jī qī dì zǐ dà sì shā lù de shí hòu ， zhèng dào de jǐ wèi níng dān qī gāo shǒu tóng yàng méi yǒu xián zhe 。
当几个老魔对三巨头地筑基期弟子大肆杀戮的时候，正道的几位凝丹期高手同样没有闲着。
Revenge is a dish best served cold! The Wind and Thunder Elder walked out with a grim expression, his body radiating with murderous intent as he looked at the corpses of several cultivators in Xianxian attire.
yǐ bǐ zhī dào ， hái shī bǐ shēn ， lùn xīn hěn shǒu là ， shuí pà shuí a ！
以彼之道，还施彼身，论心狠手辣，谁怕谁啊！
"Blood Sucking Pill. Blood Demon Patriarch, I will remember this."
yī dào dùn guāng là xià ， fēng léi shàng rén liǎn sè nán kàn dì zǒu le chū lái ， wàng zhuó yǎn qián jǐ gè shēn chuān yī xiàn xiá fú shì de xiū shì shī tǐ 。 hún shēn mào zhe shā qì 。
一道遁光落下，风雷上人脸色难看地走了出来，望着眼前几个身穿一线峡服饰的修士尸体。浑身冒着杀气。
He muttered to himself before looking up as if sensing something. A sinister smile appeared on his face as he flew off into the distance.
“ níng xuè **。 xuè yāo lǎo zǔ ， zhè ge chóu fēng mǒu rén jì xià le 。”
“凝血**。血妖老祖，这个仇风某人记下了。”
About ten miles away, a few demon practitioners from the Extreme Evil Caverns were searching for the Heaven Saboteur while flying in the air.
tā zì yán zì yǔ dí gū le yī jù ， rán hòu xiàng shì gǎn yìng dào shén me shì de tái qǐ tóu 。
他自言自语嘀咕了一句，然后像是感应到什么似的抬起头。
Suddenly, a crack of thunder reached their ears.
què dìng yǐ hòu ， zuǐ jiǎo biān liú lù chū yī sī zhēng níng dì xiào róng ， dùn guāng fēi xiàng yuǎn chù 。
确定以后，嘴角边流露出一丝狰狞地笑容，遁光飞向远处。
Then they found themselves staring at a Condensation Core cultivator with an expression of murderous intent.
lí cǐ dà yuē shí jǐ lǐ de mǒu chù ， jǐ gè jí mó dòng de xiū mó zhě zhèng yī biān fēi ， yī biān sōu xún zhe tiān shā mó jūn de shēn yǐng 。
离此大约十几里的某处，几个极魔洞的修魔者正一边飞，一边搜寻着天煞魔君的身影。
"This... Senior, what brings you to us?" The leading demon practitioner forced himself to speak.
tū rán ， yī zhèn fēng léi zhī shēng chuán rù ěr biān 。
突然，一阵风雷之声传入耳边。
"Business. Hand over your lives to me."
rán hòu tā men jiù hài rán fā xiàn yí gè zhèng dào de níng dān qī xiū shì zhèng mǎn liǎn shā qì de dīng zhe zì jǐ 。
然后他们就骇然发现一个正道的凝丹期修士正满脸杀气的盯着自己。
The Wind and Thunder Elder waved his hand, causing a fierce wind to blow. Before the demon practitioners could react, several sword qi slices cut them into pieces.
“ zhè …… zhè wèi qián bèi ， bù zhī dào nǐ zhǎo shàng wǒ men yǒu hé shì ？” wéi shǒu de xiū mó zhě yìng zhe tóu pí kāi kǒu le 。
“这……这位前辈，不知道你找上我们有何事？”为首的修魔者硬着头皮开口了。
Similar incidents were countless; the southern slopes of Quinyun Mountain had turned into a battlefield. After killing the suspicious scholar, Lin Xuan didn't wander aimlessly. He avoided becoming an easy target by moving around.
“ hé shì 。 jiāng nǐ men de xìng mìng jiāo yǔ fēng mǒu rú hé ？”
“何事。将你们的性命交予风某如何？”
Even if it was a Foundation Establishment cultivator at full power, Lin Xuan wasn’t concerned. With his abilities, he could escape even if he couldn’t win in a fight.
fēng léi shàng rén shǒu yī huī 。 dùn shí kuáng fēng dà zuò ， jǐ gè xiū mó zhě shèn zhì lái bù jí fǎn yìng 。 jiù bèi jǐ dào jiàn qì zhǎn dé qī líng bā luò 。
风雷上人手一挥。顿时狂风大作，几个修魔者甚至来不及反应。就被几道剑气斩得七零八落。
But with so many Condensation Core experts on both sides, he had to play the ostrich and stay quiet.
zhè yàng de shì qíng shǔ bù shèng shǔ ， zhěng gè kuí yīn shān mài dì nán lù yǐ jīng biàn ** jiān dì yù le 。 ér lín xuān zài zhǎn shā le nà ge bù huái hào yì dì shū shēng yǐ hòu ， jiù méi yǒu luàn zǒu ， zhè shí hòu dào chù luàn zhuàng hěn róng yì chéng wéi bèi gōng jī de mù biāo 。
这样的事情数不胜数，整个奎阴山脉地南麓已经变**间地狱了。而林轩在斩杀了那个不怀好意地书生以后，就没有乱走，这时候到处乱撞很容易成为被攻击的目标。
Although the Heavenly Dust Pill was tempting, one needed to survive first before enjoying it.
rú guǒ shì zhù jī qī xiū shì ， nǎ pà shì dà yuán mǎn jìng jiè de ， lín xuān yě bù zài yì ， yǐ tā de shǒu duàn ， jiù suàn dǎ bù yíng ， táo pǎo què méi yǒu wèn tí 。
如果是筑基期修士，哪怕是大圆满境界的，林轩也不在意，以他的手段，就算打不赢，逃跑却没有问题。
To become the ultimate victor, one must remain calm.
kě zhèng mó shuāng fāng dōu lái le nà me duō níng dān qī gāo shǒu ， tā jiù bù dé bù mēn shēng zhuāng tuó niǎo le 。
可正魔双方都来了那么多凝丹期高手，他就不得不闷声装鸵鸟了。
According to Lin Xuan's estimation, given the Heaven Saboteur’s prowess, capturing him wouldn’t be easy in such a short time.
suī rán tiān chén dān chōng mǎn le yòu huò ， kě qián tí shì yǒu mìng cái kě yǐ xiǎng yòng ó ！
虽然天尘丹充满了诱惑，可前提是有命才可以享用哦！
No rush!
xiǎng yào chéng wéi zuì hòu de shèng lì zhě ， jiù bì xū xiān chén zhù qì 。
想要成为最后的胜利者，就必须先沉住气。
Lin Xuan found a secluded spot and set up several illusory restrictions. While these crude spells might not deceive astute cultivators, they could still serve their purpose if someone just passed by without paying much attention.
ér qiě jù lín xuān gū jì ， nà wèi tiān shā mó jūn jì rán rú cǐ liǎo de ， néng gòu yī lù táo dào zhè lǐ ， nà me duǎn shí jiān nèi xiǎng yào jiāng tā zhuā zhù ， yě bìng bú shì nà me róng yì 。
而且据林轩估计，那位天煞魔君既然如此了得，能够一路逃到这里，那么短时间内想要将他抓住，也并不是那么容易。
After setting everything up, Lin Xuan began meditating in the lotus position.
bù jí ！
不急！
He spent two hours replenishing his mana before lying down fully clothed. Cultivators didn’t need to sleep as much as ordinary people, but now he needed to restore his mental state to its best condition.
lín xuān zhǎo le yī chù yǐn bì de dì diǎn ， zài zhōu wéi bù xià le jǐ dào huàn shù de jìn zhì ， dāng rán ， zhè zhǒng cū lòu de fǎ shù mán bù guò yǒu xīn de xiū shì ， dàn duì fāng zhǐ shì lù guò ， méi yǒu tài zhù yì dì huà ， hái shì yǒu yí dìng yòng chǔ 。
林轩找了一处隐蔽的地点，在周围布下了几道幻术的禁制，当然，这种粗陋的法术瞒不过有心的修士，但对方只是路过，没有太注意地话，还是有一定用处。
Just about to close his eyes, Lin Xuan suddenly felt a powerful presence scan over him. He immediately woke up and sat up, squinting as he looked outside.
zuò hǎo zhè yī qiè hòu ， lín xuān jiù kāi shǐ pán xī dǎ zuò le 。
做好这一切后，林轩就开始盘膝打坐了。
He had taken the Hidden Spirit Pill and used the敛气术, plus set up illusory restrictions. Could someone have still discovered him?
xiān huā le liǎng gè shí chén ， jiāng fǎ lì bǔ mǎn 。
先花了两个时辰，将法力补满。
That terrifying presence was beyond what a Foundation Establishment cultivator could possess; could it be a Condensation Core expert?
rán hòu hé yī tǎng xià ， xiū zhēn zhě yě bìng fēi bù xū yào shuì jiào ， zhǐ shì bǐ fán rén shǎo ， xiàn zài yào jiāng jīng shén zhuàng tài yě huī fù dào zuì jiā 。
然后合衣躺下，修真者也并非不需要睡觉，只是比凡人少，现在要将精神状态也恢复到最佳。
Lin Xuan’s throat went dry with nervousness despite his composure.
mí mí hū hū ， lín xuān gāng hé shàng yǎn jīng bù jiǔ ， tū rán gǎn jué yī gǔ qiáng dà dì shén shí zài shēn qián sǎo guò ， tā lì kè jīng xǐng ， fān shēn qǐ lái ， mī le mī yǎn ， jīng yí bù dìng de wàng xiàng wài miàn 。
迷迷糊糊，林轩刚合上眼睛不久，突然感觉一股强大地神识在身前扫过，他立刻惊醒，翻身起来，眯了眯眼，惊疑不定的望向外面。
But even so, he didn’t act rashly and remained calm.
zì jǐ míng míng fú yòng le yǐn líng dān ， hái shī zhǎn le liǎn qì zhī shù ， jiā shàng huàn shù jìn zhì ， nán dào hái shì yǒu rén fā xiàn le zì jǐ ？
自己明明服用了隐灵丹，还施展了敛气之术，加上幻术禁制，难道还是有人发现了自己？
Perhaps it was just a coincidence. The other party might have merely passed by here.
The prey had become the hunter, and the scholar lay in a pool of blood.
Lin Xuan, expressionless, waved his hand. A white light flashed, and the opponent's storage bag flew over on its own. Before Lin Xuan could open it, another cry of agony echoed from afar. A sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth as he vanished swiftly into the dense forest.

The southern slopes of Quinyun Mountain were filled with blood as brutal killings unfolded everywhere.
"Will you commit suicide or let me do it for you?" The young boy spoke without emotion, but the three Foundation Establishment cultivators seemed like prey caught by a venomous snake, frozen in place.
Venomous Child!
Known for his cruelty and viciousness within the魔道, he was a Condensation Core cultivator.
"Split up and run. One is better than none!"
The leading elder instructed his fellow disciples as he knew there was no chance of winning a direct confrontation. The other two nodded and transformed into streaks of light, flying in different directions.
"Want to leave?" The Venomous Child's face twisted into a cruel smile: "You dare not accept my offering? Then you'll pay the price!"
